Vast
I see green
a prairie or plane
rising and raging
like a sea
The sky above
yellow with tints
of orange
perhaps dawn
perhaps dusk
sweeping
like the land below
sweeping
with no where
a hint of man
This is pure freedom
undisturbed
and disturbing
as freedom should be
as if everything
is a storm
about to strike
Pure freedom
which is why
it will never be
locked in a frame
It is as a stallion
racing across the range
Caging this canvas
would be a crime
for Kami

Lovely. Rich in imagery and emotion.
Really enjoyed this poem. Love “as if everything/is a storm/about to strike”
I like this too, Lee. I like how the short lines gallop along until an actual stallion appears! Such a good one!
Wow!
I just got to this one.
Just wow!
Yes to what bill said, this gallops.
The form is perfect and so is every single line break.
Great write.
This is one of my favorites of yours! I absolutely love it.
